Florida Keys Fishing Charters

December – April Annually

Custom Florida Keys Fishing Adventures

Tidewater heads south with the boat in tow, our winter Florida Keys Fishing Charters operation based out of Big Pine Key which is about 25 miles from Key West, Florida. Sailfish typically arrive mid-January and stay through March in fishable numbers.

Along with our inshore and offshore fishing program, we love to catch aggressive juvenile tarpon at night in the Big Pine area. There are lots of pinch points and feed areas where the juvenile tarpon, up to 60lbs, congregate to feed at night on outgoing tides. It’s a ton of fun and many anglers have the opportunity to hook multiple tarpon in a night. Contact Captain Tyler now if you are interested in the opportunity to fish out of Florida with Tidewater.
